Members TampaYankee Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 12 Fish To Stay Away From Steer clear of this seafood that's bad for you and the environment By Emily Main for Prevention Our oceans have become so depleted of wild fish stocks, and so polluted with industrial contaminants, that trying to figure out the fish that are both safe and sustainable can make your head spin. "Good fish" lists can change year after year, because stocks rebound or get depleted every few years, but there are some fish that, no matter what, you can always decline. The nonprofit Food & Water Watch looked at all the varieties of fish out there, how they were harvested, how certain species are farmed and levels of toxic contaminants like mercury or PCBs in the fish, as well as how heavily local fishermen relied upon fisheries for their economic survival. Here are six of the fish they determined we should avoid, no matter what. Head over to Prevention for the full list. http://www.prevention.com/food/healthy-eating-tips/12-unhealthy-fish-avoid-eating?cm_mmc=Huffington_Post-_-12%20Fish%20You%20Should%20Never%20Eat-_-Article-_-12%20fish%20you%20should%20never%20eat AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Had seen this before, and was happy to see domestic farmed catfish is on their OK list. I love it. Also glad that US wild-caught haddock is OK. Another favorite, a lot preferable to cod, to my taste. Even though such sentiment gets me just about shot at in New England.

Guest zipperzone Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 NO fish for me.... in any way, shape or Form. :no: I quite agree. Can't even stand the sight of one let alone eat it. Tuna being the one exception as in a Tuna fish sandwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
